Case Summaries

Contractor Could Rely on As-Builts Despite Contractual Disclaimers

Broad disclaimers did not negate the government's responsibility for the accuracy of the as-built drawings furnished to the contractor. The contractor’s notification of differing site conditions two weeks after discovery was sufficiently prompt.

Negotiation of Liquidated Damages Did Not Trigger Claim Notice Period

Ongoing negotiations of responsibility for an extended performance period did not establish a contractor’s knowledge of the basis for a claim. These negotiations did not trigger the 30-day claim notice period.

Location of Project Determines Law of Performance Bond Claim

A one-year claim limitation provision in a performance bond was enforceable under Virginia law, even though the bonded subcontract for the Virginia-based project was executed in Maryland between two Maryland companies.

Project Guidance

Construction Risk - Delay & Schedule

Delay is where nearly every other construction risk eventually shows up — and where a defensible schedule earns its keep.

Construction Risk - Project Management

Once the job is won, a new set of risks takes over — the ones that unfold in real time, on the site, under a market that will not sit still.

Construction Risk - Bidding and Procurement

"Where the Money Is Won or Lost." The risks that decide a project's fate are baked into the bid, long before the first shovel hits dirt — quantities, subsurface conditions, and subcontractor pricing you're betting on sight unseen.
